17 February 2017
How many front cameras is too many? Certainly not two - two is just right, vivo says, and ushers in the V5 Plus.

Why do some of the companies wants to copy Apple's design, Chinese phone companies mostly.
I'm just quite curious.

    Hope less mobile... No display clearly..
    I thing vivo feal that they r on top level by showing there camera's.. But they r only copy cat.. Copy from other brand and than they launched..
    They don't have there or own reasurch and development... They just order to other manufacturers companies and launched by own vivo name...

It's about something is better than the other. If you compare two things there's a better and an interior one no matter which one you like.

            Do not buy this sad excuse for nothing.

              SpiritWolf, 19 Feb 2017Who the f cares about bokeh but just brainwashed kids? P... moreAgree with you. No flagship (that currently would cost you an arm) can beat the Lumia 1020 in camera department. Lumia 950/XL also stands out from the overcrouded so called cameraphones out there.
              But time is helping competition gain better Cameras (looking at Huawei with Leica, or LG itself, even Samsung), but those at least offer you great features (pretty much open system, SD Readers, great cameras and on and on) than the iPhone could ever do.

              Perhaps Microsoft should hurry before its too late?

                  "the antenna bands, ..., there's even a 'Designed by vivo' inscription where it should say 'Designed by Apple in Cupertino"

                  No The antenna bands designed by Meizu !!! Pro 6

                    Someone Else, 20 Feb 2017This comment section is a joke. Why do you care so much if ... moreRightly so. :)

                    I know Vivo is performing cheap practices by being an Apple copycat, but it does it immaculately. After using a few of their flagships like Vivo X5Max, X5Pro and some midrangers like Vivo V3Max I will admit they are the best Android copycats of iPhone.

                    Does it maters to me if Vivo copies Apple? NO.

                    Does it generate hatred for Vivo in my mind. NO.

                    On the other hand by coping Apple, Vivo provides us a refined well thought out external design and software user experience.

                    In the end let the manufacturers fight for their patents. Not us.

Once you buy it you just regret. It's not about personal choice, it's really inferior whatever you say to justify your purchase you can't change the fact. I'm a regretting customer of iPhone 7 jet black pre-ordered on launch day after they eliminated Note 7 by their cheap plans. There's nothing good about an iPhone.

                              This comment section is a joke. Why do you care so much if its looks like an iPhone 7? Will it impact iPhone's sales? No. Will the vivo V5 Plus compete with the likes of the iPhone 7, Galaxy S7? No. Will people get fooled by confusing it with an iPhone? Maybe (but a tiny bit of research will prove otherwise). I see no point of this 'copycat' wars other than spreading hate.

                              Yes, the hardware and software looks and feel like an iPhone. So what? It will only sell in China and other Asian country. Many people love the design of an iPhone but doesnt like iOS. To them, this phone is perfect. And let be honest, do you really have to constantly having to explain it's not an iPhone? Who the f cares. If you had friends like that irl that judge you of what you have, then I suggest staying away from them. You don't need that sort of negativity in your life.

                                        Huawei honor 6x is a better choice, not too expensive, good camera, battery and specs, and only a bit lower to qualcomm 625 when it comes to performance
